Kendrick Lamar released his latest album, GNX, in late November, catching fans and critics off guard despite months of speculation about a new project. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 319,000 album-equivalent units in its first week in the U.S. It has also topped the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. However, its singles “Luther” and “Squabble Up” currently rank at No. 2 and No. 3 on the Canadian Hot 100.
Adding to the excitement, Lamar announced the Grand National tour with SZA, beginning in April 2025. The tour will include 19 stadium performances across North America, including a stop at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. This announcement sparked conversations online, with some speculating about potential reactions from Drake, a Toronto native.
The Grand National tour marks a major event for fans, featuring Lamar and SZA performing in venues like Rogers Centre. Despite online debates, Kendrick’s upcoming tour and the success of GNX highlight his continued influence in hip-hop.
